Transportation Safety and Traffic Calming

Transportation Safety affects all road users including motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users. The City is continually investing in infrastructure (sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks, intersection improvements, and traffic calming works) to make transportation safer within the City.

Step 2: We identify the problem and collect data relating to the concern. For traffic calming requests, the area must meet the traffic calming criteria as set by the Transportation Safety Policy [PDF - 15.2 MB]. At the end of the review, we will contact you with the result.

Step 4: For Traffic Calming Plans, we will hold a public consultation and conduct a survey of affected residents as well as residents that live in the affected area. At least 40% of the residents in the affected area need to complete the survey and at least 60% of the survey respondents need to be in support of the proposed Traffic Calming Plan. Traffic Calming requests for roads in Elementary School Zones or Playground Zones are exempt from this criterion. Transportation Safety Plans will not go through the public review process unless the plan significantly affects nearby residents.

Step 5: We arrange design and funding. Depending on budget available, we will develop construction plans of the highest priority Transportation Safety and Traffic Calming projects for the current year. The remainder of the projects will be kept on a continuously updated priority list for future consideration.
